Signal Analyzer Tools
Video & Audio
The signal analyzer tools from Tektronix support a broad range of formats and standards. From the innovative VM6000 Automated Measurement Set to the award-winning VM700T Video Measurement Set, Tektronix provides an array of tools for automated and assisted video measurement.
The best measure of any analog or digital television system is the viewer's satisfaction with the image received. Traditionally, the quality of analog and full-bandwidth digital video systems has been measured indirectly by measuring the distortions of static test signals. The PQA500 analyzes picture quality with repeatable, objective measurements that directly replicate subjective human visual assessments. These measurements provide invaluable information for engineers working to optimize video compression without compromising picture quality.
These powerful instruments are ideal for a variety of application areas, including:
- Research and development
- Compliance and certification testing
- Broadcast network monitoring
- Off-air video systems testing
- Automated production test
